Bipolar DisorderBipolar DisorderBipolar disorder, or manic-depressive disorder, is a disorder characterized by extreme mood changes. A someone suffering from this disorder can go from being energetic and outgoing to feeling worthless and irritated anywhere between a few days to a couple of months, or even years. Diagnosis, treatment, and the dramatic changes cause a threat to the victim. People with bipolar disorder may try to kill themselves or engage in reckless behaviors depending on which stage they are in. A person with bipolar disorder goes through stages, which are called episodes. These episodes are classified into four groups: mania, depression, hypomania, and a mix between different moods. Mania is characterized by a period of increased energy and/or a feeling of euphoria. At this stage, people may feel out of control and delusional. Speech and thoughts may be distorted and increased. People with bipolar are easily distracted and may have difficulty in getting simple tasks done. When experiencing mania, others around the victim may feel frightened by the behavior the person is displaying.
Hypomania is a more moderate version of mania and usually carries the same risks. It is obvious in all three types of bipolar disorder. The person does not lose touch with reality, and has no hallucination or delusions. They experience poor judgment, which can lead to precarious situations that may put the person’s life at risk. The depressive episode is where a person experiences severe constant feelings of depression and sadness. An Individual may experience low self-esteem and loss of interest in things they used to find enjoyable, being around family members. Other symptoms of this stage include increased ideation of suicide, social anxiety, and loneliness. The physical effects may include extreme weight changes, irregular sleeping patterns, and fatigue.
Misdiagnosis
There is no need for a doctor to diagnose bipolar disorder unless and until the patient has a serious history of the disorder. For example, the symptoms and their clinical significance must be well documented, clearly recognized, and documented as part of the family history as indicated by the DSM-5 criteria.
Expectant states
Misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder occurs when the patient’s prognosis for severe pain or distress following a prior manic episode begins to falter. These early symptoms can lead to substantial life changes over time. Many of these can result from adverse events, such as the loss of motivation or self-efficacy, depression, depression-related illness, or mental health difficulties. Many of the early symptoms, however, can be eliminated in the following three to five years based on treatment options. It is important, however, that diagnosis and early treatment strategies are designed for the very, very young or to those patients suffering the most from depression.
Symptoms, Clinical Significance and Long-Term Consequences
The symptoms of bipolar disorder often range from mild to severe. The severity depends on how the individual and family experience the disorder.
The symptoms must cause the individual to feel or feel intensely disturbed or frustrated or anxious. These can include, but are not limited to:
Unpleasant thoughts about or a situation or situation of their own choosing; and
Mood changes at the beginning or end of the manic episode or the end of life.
Misdiagnosis of major depression is usually only a diagnosis. The diagnosis is based on your own family history of such symptoms. Treatment can include counseling or psychological attention, and follow-up at the earliest opportunity.
Most people can be evaluated for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This includes the psychological symptoms and symptoms that follow the onset of bipolar disorder. Misdiagnosis of PTSD does not mean that you have recovered from it or that you are likely to again relapse. However, the diagnosis can have unexpected side effects like a manic episode, agitation in memory or behavior problems during the previous year, and anxiety or depression.
Expectant state
People with bipolar disorder experience increased or sustained rates of depression, anxiety, and other major depressive episodes and mood changes and significant loss of purpose. These disturbances are often accompanied by loss of self-esteem and other significant social support.
People with severe and chronic life challenges experience less or less progress in achieving the goals of self-improvement, functioning, and professional success. The results may be even worse. People with manic or major depressive episodes experience poor mental health and social engagement despite high levels of academic preparation, job satisfaction, and participation in other activities designed to provide for greater self-reliance and self-confidence.
The following is a listing of the individual and family histories that would normally help determine major depression diagnosis. They do not necessarily help identify major depression; some information is too important to include in any medication recommendations. For personal information

According to ValentĂ, mixed episodes seem to be associated with poor outcome, increased suicidal risk, less favorable response to lithium, more frequent later occurrence in the course of bipolar illness, substance abuse, an illness course marked by longer episodic duration with less frequent interepisodic remission, more severe manic and general psychopathology, and more catatonic symptoms (2011). Furthermore, Derntl study shows a person feeling mania and depression is in the mixed stage. Bipolar disorder has been divided into different types depending on the severity of the episodes experiences. Bipolar I is when a person suffers from episodes of mania, and sometimes even depression. This type is considered one of the most severe forms of bipolar disorder because during the episode, a patient starts to display psychotic symptoms such as hallucination, delusions, and paranoia. The symptoms of bipolar I can last a few weeks or years. Bipolar II is a little similar to I, except the person never experiences full-on mania. Instead, a person with bipolar II goes
